¹² “Is it nothing to you, all you who ^[a]pass by?
Behold and see
^(A)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.

¹³ “From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has ^(B)spread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.

¹⁶ “For these things I weep;
My eye, ^(A)my eye overflows with water;
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy prevailed.”

^17 (B)Zion ^[a]spreads out her hands,
But no one comforts her;
The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob
That those ^(C)around him become his adversaries;
Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

¹⁸ “The Lord is ^(D)righteous,
For I ^(E)rebelled against His ^[b]commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.

¹⁹ “I called for my lovers,
But they deceived me;
My priests and my elders
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food
To restore their life.

²⁰ “See, O Lord, that I am in distress;
My ^(F)soul^[c] is troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
^(G)Outside the sword bereaves,
At home it is like death.
